A House for the Season by Marion Chesney writing as M.C Beaton

This series has taken a long time to complete. I listened to every one of these books via Kindle Audible and enjoyed most of them thoroughly. There are six books in all and since there is significant overlap in the storyline I deemed it appropriate to combine all the reviews in one go. It will…

Miller’s Valley by Anna Quindlen

I completed this book in about one sitting. It has surprised me about how much I have missed by not picking up one of her books under the Q section at the library earlier. It is not like the books are earth shattering in any sense, just that the writing is an art form in…

The Last Day of Emily Lindsey by Nic Joseph

This is a book I got my hands on via NetGalley and it was published quite recently. It definitely qualifies as a thriller as opposed to being a mystery because it is seemingly clear about what the final solution or outcome may be while the lives of all involved may be in jeopardy almost all…

Hotel Transylvania Graphic Novel Vol. 1: “Kakieland Katastrophe”

I requested this book from NetGalley because I am a big fan of the Hotel Transylvania series ( as I am of most smart talking animated series). I am starting to branch out my interests into Comics/Graphic Novels to add a different flavour into these reviews. I of course might either increase and diversify the…

The Miracle at Speedy Motors (No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, #9) by Alexander McCall Smith

To get the introduction into the unique life of Mma Ramotswe till date, the following links into the previous book reviews will provide the brief picture.( All the better to understand the review that is to follow.) Tears of the Giraffe #2 Morality for Beautiful Girls #3 The Kalahari Typing School for Men #4 The…
